Commission to Relieve Beach Bottleneck

Members of the City Commission meeting Jan. 3, undertook to devise ways and means to relieve the bottleneck on Atlantic Blvd. from A1A to the beach . . . and City Manager Burbridge was asked to give the matter immediate attention.

The paving will be done at once, it was said.
